International artistes including, Sarkodie, Skepta and Drake later did their versions of the song.

Nigeria-born UK rapper Skepta had played the track for Drake while he was out in the UK for Wireless festival and 72 hours later the remix was made available for the world.

‘I just did it because I was in the moment. I wasn’t thinking like, ‘Oh man, I gotta get my brand up in Nigeria. Not to say that’s not important. I’m super-honored to be on that song,’ Drake told FADER on the Ojuelegba remix in 2015.

Since then, Wizkid became an international brand and has collaborated with musicians including Drake on ‘One Dance’, Chris Brown – with whom he went on a UK tour -, Tinie Tempah, Justin Skye, French Montana and Trey Songz.

He’s also promised music collaborations with Alicia Keys, Sean Paul and more.
